“Di, I am rather surprised to see you interest in our elections. Is this typical?”
Typical for me, yes! For the country, I don’t know. We certainly have a LOT of U.S election coverage here, even of the early stages, which has started since the advent of 24 hour news channels I guess. Some people here are *really* interested, but I suspect a lot won’t really care until November.
Very few Brits don’t care about who becomes President, though - it really is the most powerful person in the world (and the person holding the key to our nuclear weapons, too!)
This has to be one of the most interesting years on both sides though. x

Well, I have to say that there is a lot of apathy around when it comes to our elections for Prime Minister….
And, yes, I think we should all care about US elections (and viva la difference!! They’re just a tad Hollywood, n’est pas? But that’s not a bad thing.) because the outcomes affect us all in the end. People who say ‘oh politics don’t interest me’ don’t really interest me.

Ha! That is too funny. I like Hilary but I really would rather see Obama.

Caucus is tonight. I am feeling like h… I know I should go but I am not sure I can drag myself there.
